Exactly.
People are lazy.
It's called "DO A SEARCH or SEARCH THE WEB!"
I find that google search is far more intuitive then Yahoo or...::shrudder:: Bing. When looking for a PDF or instruction set, I can get it as the top 3, which saves me time. Plus Google offers so many abilities its not even funny. GoogleDocs? Google Translate? Google Maps, Calander, Shopping with Checkout, reader, Sketchit, namebench, sending SMS, Talk and Voice, news and Chrome. Do I need to go on?
But I think TheOatmeal says it best.
